Just purchased my first DSLR . . . an Olympus E 410 with a standard issue 17-45mm lens. I have been on the lookout for a secondary lens but all the four third fitting lenses seem rather pricey considering I only paid £120 for the camera plus the original lens.

I then noticed lens adapters for Canon EF , M42 and others which are much cheaper plus have a larger choice.

The question is . . . . . . pay top dollar for a four thirds lens or go for the adapter and a third party lens.
